Maybe that's because CS majors know how to do more than just "program".
In fact, starting out after college I was surprised by the sheer number of folks who thought they could design and implement enterprise systems when their field of expertise was not software. And those projects all failed. ALL.
Actually, it's the same paper area for both fonts. Courier New is a fixed width font, which means it runs a lot wider than Times New Roman and takes up more paper area.
Protected memory is good for systems which do more than one thing, and/or have parts which can die without killing the whole device (e.g., a desktop computer).
And also, apparently, good for things that we send to other planets.
Am I the only one who thinks the above poster just described a system matching the Mars freakin Rover or what?!
Hey... back the truck up, buddy. I've already completed a Master's in Software Engineering on top of the Comp. Sci. degree. I haven't made $35k since I was actually *in* college.
Joel - in all fairness this *is* a summer internship you are receiving resumes for. These people haven't got a great deal of experience - the fact that they put time into writing a halfway decent cover letter should be a positive thing, not a reason to chuck their potentially good resume in the trash.
Or maybe teamwork and being detail oriented are both bad attributes for a software engineer?
Can I ask a dumb question? Why are they proud of it? What makes doing a bunch of guys at 3 degrees any different than just doing a bunch of random guys?
What is the rationale here? "If I bang 12 guys at 3 degrees I am proud, but if I bang 12 guys at 5 degrees I'd be a slut!"
I'm not a bible thumper or anything, but let's be honest here. This tool is only helping them increase the quality/quantity of their slutty encounters.
I think it would be nice to see string functions tested as well - some languages that are particularly poor with the Math are also particularly good with the Strings. IMHO

No - Intel's market cap is $190 Billion.
AMD's market cap is $4.9 Billion
Intel is quite a bit larger (monstrous) than AMD. See for yourself.
You used to be able to purchase those strips for a buck, although they were much better than the lousy ones they stuck onto the batteries.
Agreed.
Basic economics dude.
I don't disagree with that, but if you read the post I responded to, he specifically said "No college grad is worth $60k. Period."
In my mind this person has a bias towards those with lack of experience, and is not open to the possibility of paying for TALENT or CREATIVITY.
In fact, his perception of college grads might actually change if he offers a respectable starting salary and attracts better people.
Basic economics, dude...

No self respecting Comp. Sci. grad should accept an offer for $35k. The national average is clearly $48k.
And what - pray tell - are you going to do with that precious $13,000 you're stiffing your new employees out of?
I have a ReplayTV.
This means I can not only watch the Superbowl without commercials, but also that no-one else will know!
TiVo == bad

Try it yourself - it's much more readable.

And look, I definitely didn't intend to sound elitist. Perhaps I should have included the link to the annual salary survey conducted by my first University. 2002 Salary Survey (Arts and Sciences).
A more up-to-date, National median figure is at: Starting Salary Offers - National Averages for New College Grads, halfway down the page.
I have to admit I was surprised to see the median for 2002 at $38k, but that was 2002 and the Winter 2003 number is clearly much higher.

when reasonably skilled programmers out of top-tier universities can't get jobs that pay over $30,000 (and they're lucky to have that)
Okay, now you're just exaggerating. If you have a Comp. Sci. degree the absolute minimum salary you should see is $45k. Absolute minimum.
Hear hear! To what advantage is having millions of college educated americans without gainful employment?
That's exactly the kind of thing that starts a revolution.
Yamaha always puts so much crap around the audio you have no idea what the product is.

Well that's evil. Microsoft seems to win either way on that one.
active and proud of it women

FINALLY - an MP3 player with a digital FM tuner. Is this the only one? It's the only one I've seen.
The Borg episode... the Romulans? What the hell? Have the writers ever even watched any of the previous Treks?
Exactly. #1 reason I won't watch it.
#2 reason is I don't care about the characters. (I guess this is due to the poor writing on the show).
I don't think it's mud, the Pathfinder photos have the same kind of markings on the ground - and it's clearly not mud.
That's a great point - and MSIL's performance in the Trig functions shows that bytecode languages don't inherently have slow Trig performance.
So, back to my original question - what makes their implementation so fast?!
I think it would be nice to see string functions tested as well - some languages that are particularly poor with the Math are also particularly good with the Strings. IMHO
I am not a compiler nerd (IANACN?), so maybe someone else can answer the following simple question:
Why are the Microsoft languages so fast with the Trig functions?
Huh? Of course it's ethical, you can put a Burger King billboard up right next to a McDonalds restaurant.
The issue is that 1-800 Contacts wants the practice stopped (who can blame them), and that they actually have the phrase "1-800-Contacts" trademarked.
Agreed.
I think having a wealth of information about people is a good thing. If you don't break the law you shouldn't have any worries.
And for those that do break the law - well - they can't lie about it, can they?
It's the prospect of fascism that brings out the tin foil hats. The technology in and of itself is not evil - how it is used can be.
This has been true for millennia.
